Crankshaft by Tom Batiuk and Dan Davis for July 29, 2024

It’s a lot more down-to-earth than Ed being a one-manic space program.

Is this going to be a full on repeat of the strips that ran starting August 21 2023 in only half of the newspapers across the country? The original ones mentioned “the Canadian wildfires” which were ongoing at the time and curiously enough were not featured here at GoComics at all.

What’s going on here?

Don’t the neighbors ever complain to authorities?

Why do you need to work to pinpoint the source? The source is what it always is, that pyromaniac, Ed Crankshaft!

They’re confusing it with last year’s Canadian forest fires…

Repellent blanket of deadly smog covering HALF THE USA is “In Other News”? What was the lead story, “Kittens Are Very Cute”?

I wonder whether anyone has ever eaten anything Ed started to cook…?

(Aside from the Man-in-the-Moon?)

Start in Mudville Ohio.

At least it keeps the bugs down!

Just a man and his grill.

Smoke screen getaway.

It’s called cooking!

Should the air quality alert be renamed the Ed alert?

More Grill jokes?

This strip is as fresh as one of Dinkle’s formerly frozen band (banned?) turkeys.

……is it Labor Day already???

Where’s Crankshaft?

He’s in the backdraft.

is pizza box monster back from comic con

Give me break…………….just too silly!!!

You know, if Ed would just quit cooking out, or even better quit cooking entirely, then climate change would at least slow down.

It isn’t smoke from California!

When your heart’s on fire…you must realize…smoke gets in your eyes…..

… in the political news, candidates from each side are blaming the other for the deadlock on important legislation … each claim the other is blowing smoke out of their a ss.

Notice that the really dark cloud seems to be emanating from behind Ed. That’s not smoke… and when it reaches the flames, Ed will be in orbit!

Talk about char-broil … ;)

Which really shouldn’t be too hard, to figure out.

“Who’s hungry?”
